Several weeks ago the Pioneer Press
invited the pupils OF the public schools
of Minnesota to write original stories
or sketches and send these, properly
certified by the teacher in charge as
original work, to its Office before Dec
ember Is. It was announced that the
best of these stories would be selected
for publication in the Pioneer Press of
Dec. 18. We clip the following from the
issue in which the twenty three stories
selected were published: 1.-The returns
were unexpectedly large. When the
lists closed at midnight of Dec. Is,
131 manuscripts had been received
from all parts Of state. As was to be
expected, the largest proportion came
from St.Paul, whose school children con-
tributed 81 out of the 131 stories. New
Ulm came next. furnishing eleven neat
manuscripts uniformly tied with the con-
Yentional blue ribbon. Under the pledge
made by the Pioneer Press, % of these
stories, or just enough to fill two pages
have been selected for publication.
These % stories are classified by locali-
ty as follows: St. Paul 10, Minneapolis
2, Owatonna 2, New Ulm 2; Chatfeld,
st. Peter, Hastings, Plainyiew, Dodge
Center, Duluth, Winnebago City | each.
The 1Sl manuscripts came from n diff
ferent cities. The two youthful novel;

were honored with the publication of
their stories. are Pauline Schuetz Gage

Congressman Adams is in fair way
to writing himself down an ass. He
proposes to authorize the president to
expel all aliens from the United States
if suspected of anarchistic opinions.
There was a president named Adams
once who suffered a big fall by such po-
lltlcal tomfoolery as this. Either the
modern Adams is striving to establish
the rightfulness Of hiss lineage, or else
he needs to be invited to read the chap
ter of American political history which
treats of federalism and the alien laws
of 1898. 1t tells of the history of the
Adams downfall. ST. PAUL DIS

Trade Dull Under Continued Unfavorable
Conditions-A Firm Wool Market.
INDIANAPOLIS Feb g.
Rainy weather and bad country roads are a.
wet blanket on business at the present writing,
and the indications that this state of affairs
so far as the roads are concerned, is to exist
for some days, or until the frost is out of the
ground and the roads become settled. One
very favorable feature of the situation is that
our manufacturing establishments are all busy
and. further, money is easy in all commercial
centers. The time has come when the wool
market attracts more attention. The Boston
Journal speaks of the market as being a re-
markedly steady one, and 1t is surprising
that, with firm and rising markets abroad
prices here do not advance. The Journal add 5:
1.-THE wooden goods market it is said, will not
warrant an advance, and, manufacturers claim
does not permit of their giving present prices,
even, for supplies OF raw material If we in
stitute comparison with the corresponding
time last year we find that prices then ruling
were about on level with present values the
difference being 80 slight as to be hardly no.
ticeable, and is not at the outside more than
one cent. Manufacturers produced goods last
yesr at profit and, even if they obtain no ad-
vance this season. they are assured of making
some money, for business generally at all the
great distributive centers is a better footing
and Is more profitable, and the interferences
from strikes among mill hands are now looked
forward to-" In the grocery market there is
little new to note. The weak tone to sugars is
still noticeable, and coffees are barely steady
Eggs are weak at the reduced quotations of
Monday and the same is true of butter. while
poultry is frmer and hens &c higher than last
week. The provision market continues in the
strong position of some days past.

CHICAGO, Feb s-The wheat market was
dull and featureess to-day Rain reported
as prevailing throughout the entire winter wheat
belt, but the fact had no perceptible bearing on
the course of values beyond provoking fair de-
gree of buying at the opening, under which May
wheat advanced from $780, 1.-The opening figure, to
S3ac. From that point the offerings grew larger.
and very little support was given to the market.
The price OF May dropped off slowly to 83c and
closed at inside figures. The cables quoted dull
foreign markets. Receipts at eleven points az
'gregated $780, 900 bu, while the export clearings
were larger than usual. aggregating 304 600 bu.
The other cereals ruled heavy. and prices fell off
under moderately free speculative offerings.
